ECTY Creative Explosion Box -Scrapbook DIY Photo Album Box for Birthday Anniversary Valentine Day Wedding(Upgrade Version).

The box arrived requiring minimal assembly: just folding up the lids and using the included double-sided tape to assemble the inner box. I found the included instructions perfectly clear, but the YouTube videos had some great ideas for customizing it. It was a lot of fun to put this together, and it was spectacular when finished. One thing I discovered that wasn't noted by others is that the outer two rings of "petals" for photographs are actually envelopes as well, so you can insert things like gift cards, cash, or other small flat items in addition to putting a gift in the central box. The LED lights don't have an on/off setting, so they come on as soon as you insert the batteries. I was concerned because I intended to mail the box and wanted the lights to be on when my sister opened it. But I did a test run first, and with good AA batteries the lights were still running after 10 days! So no problem mailing it unless it's going overseas or something.

The product is really great!! Tapes come with them and also the ribbon comes with them. But the worst part is there are no instructions within the package. So please look up on youtube which seems difficult to assemble first but if you get the hang of it, it is really easy to assemble it together and be creative. It's worth the money!!! So many pockets and so many things to fill in the boxes. It also comes with the lights, which made it even cooler!!! I would 100% recommend this to anyone. Have fun! This is an amazing gift for anyone regardless of their age.

The only negative thing to this was the tape that came with it. I just bought double sided tape separately and it was perfect! Super cute and easy to build if you watch the instructional video.

I loved the product it was very easy to assemble and my boyfriend loved it but it takes a lot of time to put together because you have to order so many different picture sizes. I had to use polaroids and cut some pictures a little bit because I didn’t have time or money to order them by the time it got here. The product isn’t the sturdiest because it’s cardboard but as long as you keep it where it wont be smashed or anything it’s fine. Would recommend this product 100% if you order it far enough ahead to order pictures too. I would buy this again because now I know to be prepared.

So easy to put together. Double sided tape is provided, it is very good quality. I ended up needing more tape for amount of pictures I used. Sizing can be difficult for pictures and size of squares but i just cropped some images. Does not come with flowers as in photos and lights don not come with battery. Overall 100% worth the purchase.

I seen the “exploding” box thing on Pinterest. Where you cut the sides of nesting boxes and double sided tape candy and lottery tickets to the walls. I liked the idea but didn’t want to do candy because I already planned on making a box of chocolates and strawberries. I searched nesting boxes on here and found this. I loved it! I figured it was the perfect gift for Valentine’s Day and I was right! My fiancé loved it and was so appreciative. It took me a few hours to make because some thought needed to go into the layout of photos and what pictures would work best on what sizes compared to others. I ordered 38 photos and used about 22-24 of them - some photos I used for two panels by cutting the photo in half. I used all 4x6 photos. It comes with double sided tape but I only used that to construct the small box in the center. I used a scrapbook tape pen to “glue” the photos down.

Honestly ignore the negative reviews about this gift; yes it is a bit challenging but the amount of time you put into crafting and personalizing this gift is makes it all the more special & sentimental. The instructions aren’t the most clear but once you keep looking at the instructions picture you start to see the vision and before you know it you don’t even need to look at it anymore and if who you’re making it for is that special to you you won’t give up on making it work; overall I’m definitely satisfied and i truly can’t wait to see the look on my girlfriends face when i give it to her on our anniversary :)

Came pretty much put together. Took me a couple days to cut my photos to size, plan what I wanted to do with it as far as logistically, and double sided tape them in. I used it as a memory box for Father’s Day for my husband, and he absolutely loved it and showed it off and took pictures of it. I didn’t use the lights but they are a nice touch. The tape that comes with it to put together whatever isn’t already put together is a little flimsy. I recommend having some better double sided tape on hand to make it easier. It was totally worth the time and effort put into it.
